The helm needs to be in science. Research results must be shared more with each other and it must be easier to build on the projects of others. Governments, funds and scientific organizations point to the value of open science for this.

The open sharing of research resources - according to the FAIR principles - must offer the solution to allow researchers to truly embroider each other's work, whether by replication or by using results for new research....

In 2013, both organizations joined forces in what became Research Data Netherlands (RDNL) , in 2014 SURFsara joined this connection.
